With a man and a woman, it may well be that the woman says she is on the pill and that deals with the contraceptive issue. If it was me, as a man, and I was new to that fuck buddy I would still use a condom. Why? Well, firstly I would want the comfort of knowing that things were safe, that there would be no potential pregnancy in play. A condom gives me that security. Secondly, I would use a condom for protection from STDs and other diseases. It is “probably” fine, but personally, I would like to be 100% sure. This is why it can be a real issue if a condom breaks! Suddenly everything is back on the table and you and your fuck buddy have to deal with it. So why might a condom break? Here are the main reasons so that you can avoid this disaster.</p> <h3>The condom is old</h3> <p>Always check the date on the condom. If it is out of date, never use it. A condom is made of a special rubbery material that is designed to stretch and not break. However, everything gets weaker with time and using an old condom puts you at risk of a break. Don’t do it. Ditch it and get a new one.</p> <h3>You did not open the packet carefully</h3> <p>There is something really sexy about having a girl open a condom pack with her teeth and then put it on you with her mouth. It is a rare skill, and if you are with a fuck buddy who can do it, you are in for a treat! However, opening a packet with your teeth, if not done carefully, can lead to a tiny tear which quickly leads to a full split later on. Be careful when you open the packet, don’t damage the contents!</p> <h3>It was stored in the sun</h3> <p>Sun and heat will degrade a condom. It really needs to be kept in a cool dark place. This usually happens as it is kept in a drawer out of sight, so this is rarely an issue… but do not leave it in the sun! It will degrade over time.</p> <h3>Put it on right!</h3> <p>When you put it on, you need to leave space at the tip to, erm, well, collect! If you don’t do this you may find you have a balloon effect which can lead to a split, so put it on right!</p> <p>So there are the big reasons a condom splits. Bear it in mind when you are next with your fuck buddy to avoid any accidents.</p> Wed, 24 Aug 2022 23:02:14 +0000 EdBennett 6833 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/ireland/blog/fuck-buddy-disaster-condom-broke#comments Why use a condom with your fuck buddy.

For the most part the preference is on the male side, so this article is aimed at men, but I want to note that there are also many women who also prefer to have sex without a condom. I have certainly spoken to at least one woman who claimed that they couldn’t come if the man was using a condom. Whether that was a physical restriction based on sensation, or a mental block caused by their belief that they could not orgasm when a condom was being used I am not sure. Either way, she was very keen on anyone that she hooked up with to be without a condom when they had sex. As a result she had to take other preventative measures, mostly testing for STDs beforehand, which meant she rarely had sex with a fuck buddy on the first night. It also meant that her friends with benefits relationships tended to last for a long time since the effort to first test and check meant that she couldn’t easily swap men in and out of her bed, so there was a balance there. So that was her. From a male point of view, why should you choose to use a condom with your fuck buddy even if they would rather you didn’t?</p> <h2>Reason 1: STDs<br /> </h2> <p>This is the most compelling reason. A condom assures that you will not pick up anything untoward. Nothing will kill your sex life faster than having to say to someone you are about to sleep with that you have caught “xxx” and need to use a condom. It is just bad! Some STDs also have long term effects (the HIV virus being the main one) and even the more malign ones require embarrassing treatment and appropriate disclosure to the people you are sleeping with at the point that you catch it. The easy way to avoid all of this? Use a condom.</p> <h2>Reason 2: pregnancy<br /> </h2> <p>Have you ever had a pregnancy scare? Have you ever had sex with someone and then afterwards there been the suggestion that they might be pregnant? That could have been a late period or a miscommunication, but if you have you understand the issues that can cause. Getting someone pregnant is messy. Worse, if you decide that you do not want the child, but the other party does, you have no control over that but remain legally liable for the child! You are compelled, by law, to provide a certain amount of financial support for that child. A condom gives you the certainty that this will not occur. Even if the woman says that they are using some other kind of contraception, can you be sure of their honesty in this? Men have been caught out by this in the past, don’t let it be you!</p> <p>So, when you first start sleeping with someone, I strongly suggest you use a condom regardless of how the other party feels about it. Do it for you, for your protection. That way you can walk away at any time knowing that nothing is going to come back and haunt you from what was intended to just be a night of fun for both parties.</p> Thu, 26 Aug 2021 21:19:54 +0000 EdBennett 6798 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/why-use-condom-your-fuck-buddy-two-compelling-reasons#comments Condom Effectiveness: Why you should all be using them https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/condom-effectiveness-why-you-should-all-be-using-them <div class="view view-blog-date-tags view-id-blog_date_tags view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-8d399c611090a30cc29a5afb5f47d1bc"> <div class="view-content"> <div> 1 Jun 2013 - 09:00 | Tags: <a href="/australia/blog/tags/condom-effectiveness" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">condom effectiveness</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/condoms" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">condoms</a>, <a href="/australia/blog/tags/safe-sex-great-sex" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">safe sex is great sex</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-images"><img typeof="foaf:Image" loading="lazy" src="https://www.f-buddy.com/sites/f-buddy.com/files/styles/blog-images/public/images/blog/safe-sex-332_0.jpg?itok=TNqnLyBo" width="250" height="163" alt="" /></div><p>Condoms are possibly one of the best inventions humanity has ever come up with. Not only do they serve as a useful form of contraception but more importantly provide increased protection from sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs &amp; STIs). Despite this, we often get asked the same two questions: How effective are condoms and why should I be using them?</p> <p><strong>Condom Effectiveness</strong><br /> AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) has killed nearly 25 million people worldwide since it was first officially diagnosed in the early 1980s. Thanks to the successful global application and usage of condoms the rates of infection have dropped particularly in the western hemisphere. Whilst there is still a lot of work to be done in educating the less developed nations, the fact remains that condoms provide an effective screen of protection against STDs like HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus – the precursor to AIDS) and many STIs like Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia. The latex prevents genital secretions that contain many STDs and STIs from coming into content with the other person’s genitals and skin. </p> <p><strong>But sex just doesn’t feel the same with a condom. If we trust each other can’t we just get rid of it?</strong><br /> Sure you can. But ask yourself a few questions first; how well do you really know your fuck buddy? How many other partners do you see on a regular basis? How many other partners do they see on a regular basis? When you sleep with someone without a condom, unless you’ve known them for a long time and 100% trust them, then remember that not only are you sleeping with them; you’re also sleeping with every other person they’ve slept with. </p> <p><strong>But having a fuck buddy is casual so why the need for condoms? </strong><br /> 2 reasons plain and simple: Protection and trust.<br /> As a guy, wearing a condom shows your partner that you are to be trusted. The sex is more likely to be great as a result. As a woman insisting the guy wear a condom before you have sex shows you’re not willing to risk either party. Again the sex is more likely to be enjoyed by both.</p> <p>In order to enjoy sex to its maximum potential both parties need to be comfortable and feel safe and able to trust each other in and out of the bedroom. Using condoms ensures this level of trust.</p> <p><strong>But condoms desensitise things and sex just doesn’t feel the same.</strong><br /> Wake up and smell the 21st Century! Leaving aside the fact that there are now many types of condoms available to increase sensitivity for both parties (check out the ‘ultra fine’ condom from Durex and anything from the Skyn brand) don’t forget that you also have fingers, hands, a tongue…face it, an entire body to play with. We are highly sensual creatures and can be aroused and pleasured for hours without the need for penetrative sex.</p> <p>And even when you do want to fuck each other’s brains out, using a condom means you can have penetrative sex and really let yourself go without worrying.</p> <p><strong>Lubricate and Celebrate!</strong><br /> There are so many sex products available to buy these days to help make sex an even more enjoyable experience and up the ante as well. A condom is not a barrier to sex; it is increased protection against things that can ruin your enjoyment of sex. </p> <p>Have fun and remember; sheaf up!</p> Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:00:00 +0000 jeni 5870 at https://www.f-buddy.com https://www.f-buddy.com/australia/blog/condom-effectiveness-why-you-should-all-be-using-them#comments
